T he Bible does not list the names of every creature on the Ark. It does say that one set of every kind of air-breathing animal was on board (Genesis 6:19-20; 7:15-16). So, dinosaurs must have been included.
There is evidence that dinosaurs lived after the Flood. For instance, Job saw " behemoth " after the Flood.
The Ark had plenty of room for all the animals, including the dinosaurs. Young dinosaurs would be small and easier to care for and would use less food. It would have been foolish to fill up space on the with the oldest, biggest adults.
The dinosaurs lived for at least a few centuries after the Flood, but probably never in the great numbers that there once had been. No one knows exactly when they finally died out.

Yes the dinosaurs were taken on the Ark silly. There was PLENTY of room! And PLENTY of food. God isn't FOOLISH. Besides, everyone knows that taking them on the Ark wouldn't have been dangerous, ALL the animals ate vedgetables - including dinosaurs!
A fter the Flood, many parts of the world became too harsh for the dinosaurs. No longer did the earth have the same great forests of huge, nutritious plants. It would have been hard for the dinosaurs to locate enough food as they got bigger and bigger.

Great numbers of creatures have become extinct in the thousands of years since the Flood. In the last 350 years alone, almost 400 species have disappeared. Today, some experts claim that one or more species of plants and animals may be lost every day. Most of the problem is caused by sinful and foolish human beings.

They just couldn't make it after the flood. The NUTRITIOUS PLANTS couldn't make it (but the asteroid theory was just plain STUPID).
And lots of animals go extinct! But its because of sinful humans - not 'cause God killed all the food and changed the atmosphere and seasons of the earth!

that i required higher standards for belief in god than belief in evolution

This one almost got me. The word they used was "indisputable" (I think), but along the line of absolute evidence.

Satanus - I'm agnostic. The "best" concept I have of God is a lifeforce. I think it rates whether your logic is consistent. I do agree that the True/False only can be somewhat limiting, but the test is short. Where did you get "hit"???

144,000 a literal number

by Bonnie_Clyde in

the questions from readers has affirmed that the 144,000 is a literal number.

it states that some numbers in revelation are symbolic and others are literal.

it argues that since the great crowd which is unnumbered is mentioned right after the 144,000, then logically the 144,000 would have to be literal.

Tashawaa

An admittedly simplistic argument (the best in this case):
Are the 12,000 figure for each of the twelve tribes (Rev. 7:5-8) making up the 144,000 (v. 4) symbolical or literal?
How does the addition of 12 symbolical figures come up to a literal one?

I don't see how one cancels out the other. I think their reasoning is correct.

Hey - this is the BEST argument I have ever seen for a literal 144k. Its short, and to the point. I didn't have to sift thru paragraphs of reasoning to see his point (unlike Leolaia who makes my head hurt ).

I was in the mood to learn about dinosaurs today.

This is a very scientific site. For example, when we learn how the dinosaurs became extinct, we need to reason on this:

The latest dinosaur extinction theory suggests that the earth was struck from space by a six-mile-wide meteorite (a comet or asteroid). Such a collision could have left a huge layer of dust in the atmosphere. The dust could have been enough to block out the sun's light for months and perhaps years. Because most plants need lots of sunlight, this would have destroyed many of them. The dinosaurs would have starved on a cold, darkened planet.
What is wrong with this theory?
If the meteorite collision really happened, why did other forms of life survive--including birds, small vertebrates (including mammals), big crocodiles, insects, flowering plants, freshwater plants and animals, various types of sea life, etc.?

So, the only LOGICAL answer is a flood... 'cause, after all, everyone knows that flowering plants, freshwater plants, sea life, etc. can all survive under water for a year (uh, without sunlight).

Who are these people?

by Soledad in

as i was walking home today (about 7pm) i passed in front of madison square garden.

there, a little boy, about 7-8 years old, hands me some literature.

the literature is eerily similar to a watchtower, but i knew that the people handing them out were not jws.

Tashawaa

seems his wife was seventh day adventist,

those silly seventh day adventists! I swear, more cults have come out of this group than any other!

They have an interesting take on the "end"...

6. During the 1,000 years to top
The 1000 years in heaven will be spent in vindicating God. The saints will look through the books and judge the wicked dead, who have already sealed their destiny. Satan will be as if he is bound on this earth with no one to tempt during the millennium.

7. The New Jerusalem to top
After 1000 years, God's people descend from heaven with the New Jerusalem. The wicked are raised and, during their attack on the Holy City , are destroyed in a rain of fire and brimstone. God then creates a beautiful new earth for the redeemed saints.

32. The Judgment to top
Everything we say, do, or think will be held against us in the judgment. The only way of escape is by confessing our sins and accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour.
